...transforms himself into a rhinoceros on stage. This metamorphosis begins only with a headache but gradually Jean's voice grows hoarse and he begins to pace about his bedroom with his head lowered, breathing heavily and nearly knocking over the concerned Berenger.

Not only did she employ an astrologer, but she also championed animal rights and wooed Hollywood as a sort of Nancy Reagan meets Hillary Clinton meets Kim Basinger...
Third time's a charm: "227" (consider this: have you ever seen the headstrong, vain Blair Warren, Blanche Deveroe and Sandra Clark [a.k.a. Jackee] at the same place at the same time? How about the wise-cracking grannies Edna Garrett, Sophia Petrillo and Pearl Shay? Coincidence? I think...
